Deleted the other app formatted exactly like this one from my phone —my account’s still there though— is it less nazi in here? The levels of vitriol and sadism over there were starting to make it hard to want to do anything besides wish for a huge meteor to come take us out

Guys, I'm not saying don't call your senators, but I am saying faith in government isn't going to save us. Pool your resources. Organize with your friends and neighbors. Find ways of helping each other. If you didn't start already, now is the next best time.
